Best. Overdrive. Ever.

I'm a bit of an overdrive junkie; in my brief time as an electric guitarist I've played easily five or six overdrive pedals extensively and have tried out sundry others here and there. Overdrive is tricky; if the effect is too over-the-top your natural tone and attack will be obliterated and replaced with a gross muddy fog of lame distortion. If the effect's too mild it sounds like a bad amp cranked up if that.



The Maxon OD-808 is simply the best I've played.



The controls are simple: Overdrive tone balance. 'Nuff said. I was amazed by how much range I found within these though! My favorite setting is Overdrive and Tone at around 12 noon with Balance at about 2-3:00. Awesome...super creamy and responsive. I play with a Telecaster and this thing makes it sound like a dream that shakes me walls (normally considered a nightmare).



I've never played an original tube screamer but this thing is 99% the same pedal down to the chipset inside (based on the research I did). Plus at 100 bucks cheaper why not go Maxon anyway? Seriously invest in one of these. Pricier than some other overdrives but well worth the cost.More detail ...
